!Mary Frances Green was from the Green family in Warren County in an area which later became known as Greentown in Fork Township. Her father was James Thomas Green and her grandfather was William "Billy" Green of Warren County. Her mother was Penny Copeland, daughter of Ben Copeland of Warren County. She married Walter Van Sneed and they had 3 children together: Nannie Sneed, Estella Sneed and Georgiana Sneed. She died when she was 28 years old while living in Warren County. NC.
Walter Sneed was born into slavery , June 16, 1852 on the Sneed Plantation, at Granville (now Vance Co.)North Carolina. ( Although, he apparently thought he was born about 1843, as listed in most of his census records). He was the son of the then owner of the land, William Morgan Sneed, son of Dr. Richard Sneed. His mother was the slave named Nancy who was born December 10, 1822 in Granville,(now Vance) of the slave named Matilda.

My Mother always said that Grandpa Walter told them time and time again that Bill Sneed was his father. Grandpa told of how Bill Sneed used to take him on most of his local trips, as soon as he was old enough to go. He became his chauffeur (buggy or surrey driver) and took him everywhere he went. The black people in the community, mostly because they were jealous, encouraged Grandpa to leave "that old white man" because he wasn't going to give him anything, he was just being used. Grandpa, being just 18, young and foolish, listened, and ran away from his father, in Granville County, and ended up in Halifax County. Never to see his father again. He said that people told him later that Bill Sneed inquired about his whereabouts and asked if anyone saw him, tell him to come back, he wanted to give him his share of the property (a Grist Mill and 200 acres of land.) Bill died not ever seeing Grandpa again. Grandpa Walter always felt sorry for what he did and didn't talk about it very much, but let his children know from whence he came.***Note: Walter apparently didn't know the exact date that he was born because various dates were used on records throughout his life. His Death Certificate incorrectly shows his age as 93, and his father just as "Major Sneede." But from the Slave Records of Richard Sneed, it shows Walter's birth as June 16, 1852.
